Nice video! I wonder if they could do a remake for after the Assault Weapons Ban? Full-Auto's are not illegal anymore. You can get them, with all of the appropriate checks of course. I've noticed that the media does that alot. They say: "The man was armed with a fully automatic assault rifle," yet they end up holding an AR-15, unconverted.

For residents of Socialist Republic of Kalifornia, it does not make difference (re Ban). That hunting rifle with AK mechanism is probably illegal here because it resembles its daddy.

The sad thing is - you are probably right.

I noticed that, the AK firing mechanism. The "hunting rifle," is nothing more than a heavily modified AK/Dragunov. I want one.

I noticed in the vid that clip capacity wasnt mentioned.. doesnt that have something to do with the current lable of "assault rifle"?

ASWnut101 · 03-14-07, 02:48 PM

No, I think. You can get magazines for a Glock pistol that hold in excess of 30 rounds. They look pretty cool.

Yep - 32. Friend has a few 100 rd clips for his Glock 18 (fully auto). It eats ammo (Translate directly into $$$) too much for my tastes. It was fun to fire a few times though, but I probably went through a few hundred $$$ of ammo last time we took it out.

Nice! Almost a "rich people's" gun like that.

StdDev · 03-14-07, 02:57 PM

I have a old "Calico .22" rifle.. it is basically a modified Ruger 10-22.. but it has a 100 round helical drum clip.. I thought it had been outlawed for sale here.. I think because of the clip capacity.

In CA you can't buy any mag bigger than 10.

ASWnut101 · 03-14-07, 03:02 PM

It's somehow a "Assault weapon" in the eyes of politicians. Must be the looks. Anyway, the ban is over, so let's celebrate with a purchase of an AR-15 or a AK-47/74! They are fun to show off at gun ranges. At first, everyone looks at you like you're there to rob the place, but their shock turns to amazement as they stare at your weapon in awe. It's pretty annoying.

That's stupid! The mayor is "terminating" your rights. Too bad. Can you still own one, though? You just said you can't BUY one, but can you own one?

I agree! Lets buy both types...Hmm, I already have both types, so now what? :p

I saw a 6.8 Cal Barrett that is on the way out. Maybe that would be a good one. Has best of both worlds - speed and accuracy of the 5.56, coupled with the kenetic energy of 7.62!

PS. I have noticed that some people don't take too kindly when you pull those things out of the cases at your local range. They give you dirty looks and such until they get used to it. After a little while though, they are fine with it.
